- [How to Choose PP Impact Copolymer MFI: SCGC P640J to P945J (May 2026)](https://syntexamerica.com/blog/pp-impact-copolymer-mfi-scgc-p-series-guide-2026): MFI selection guide for the four SCGC™ PP Impact Copolymer injection grades — P640J (MFI 10), P740J (27), P840J (43), P945J (65). Going from P640J to P945J drops 23°C notched Izod ~34% (98→65 J/m) while flexural modulus rises ~17% (1,300→1,520 MPa) and cycle time drops 12–25%. P640J and P740J are the only grades with published –20°C Izod (both 39 J/m) — a tie that matters for cold-service parts. Includes a wall-thickness × MFI selection matrix, cycle-time delta table, ASTM D1238 certificate-reading guide, an RFQ specification template that doesn't lock out approved cross-references, brief P945J vs Oriental Energy Y40 high-flow comparison, food-contact compliance status (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, EU 10/2011) per grade, and a cross-reference methodology to validate Braskem, LyondellBasell, SABIC, and ExxonMobil equivalents instead of fabricating spec ties
